Episode Synopsis

Insertion torque tells us whether an implant has primary stability not... right? RIGHT?? Actually, nope! Insertion torque only gives us a measurement of resistance to one type of movement. In this video, I'll break down the engineering behind insertion torque and show you why we're all getting it wrong when we use it to judge primary stability of our implant placements. If you're like to learn more about insertion torque, primary stability, or implant placement in general, check us out at https://stanleyinstitute.com/
